# `fastmcp.utilities.json_schema`
## Functions
### `resolve_root_ref` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/utilities/json_schema.py#L7" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
resolve_root_ref(schema: dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]
```
Resolve $ref at root level to meet MCP spec requirements.
MCP specification requires outputSchema to have "type": "object" at the root level.
When Pydantic generates schemas for self-referential models, it uses $ref at the
root level pointing to $defs. This function resolves such references by inlining
the referenced definition while preserving $defs for nested references.
**Args:**
- `schema`: JSON schema dict that may have $ref at root level
**Returns:**
- A new schema dict with root-level $ref resolved, or the original schema
- if no resolution is needed
### `compress_schema` <sup><a href="https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp/blob/main/src/fastmcp/utilities/json_schema.py#L240" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
compress_schema(schema: dict, prune_params: list[str] | None = None, prune_defs: bool = True, prune_additional_properties: bool = True, prune_titles: bool = False) -> dict
```
Remove the given parameters from the schema.
**Args:**
- `schema`: The schema to compress
- `prune_params`: List of parameter names to remove from properties
- `prune_defs`: Whether to remove unused definitions
- `prune_additional_properties`: Whether to remove additionalProperties\: false
- `prune_titles`: Whether to remove title fields from the schema
